Question

Test for the commutative property of union and intersection of the sets P = { x : x is all real numbers between 2 and 7} and Q = { x : x is all rational numbers between 2 and 7}

Answer 1

Explanation:

P = {x : x is a real number between 2 and 7}

{x: 3,4,5,6}

Q = {x : x is all rational number between 2 and 7}

{4 }

We know that P contains all the rational numbers between 2 and 7.

And P ∪ Q and Q ∪ P each of them contain all the real numbers which are between 2 and 7.

{3,4,5,6}

Here Q is the proper subset of P

P ∩ Q = Q ∩ P = Q= {4}
